Maybe, I've done quite a bit of PvP myself and I see myself liking this a lot when playing dotcleaves, for example. In scenarios where the first gargoyle doesn't really kill anything and is only there to draw some early cooldowns to make dots apply more pressure later on, and then timing it with the second for even stronger dots as they don't snapshot any longer. You have three minutes then to make it line up, mentionned pain is minimal.
I can see it being not too good in TSG style comps, but anything shifting my meta away from TSG is good in my book
On a sidenote: I really think we should have spec specific beta threads =/
